I love Fat Chance Farms and their soaps! I took a chance and ordered 2 of these samplers (one for myself and one for my bf) and I am absolutely LOVING these soaps! I'm anemic and that comes with various side effects, including bruising very easily. Any small trauma and even scratching can cause them. I knew these soaps would help but I didn't think they would help so much.
Something that I'd experience every couple of weeks would be this weird itchiness that I felt in my thighs. It would feel like an itch deep inside my legs (almost down to the bones) and it'd be impossible to satisfy by a small scratch or two—as a result, scratching aggressively, or even scratching lightly but consistently (for a few mins at a time) has caused HUGE black and blues on my legs, and it would look horrendous, like I was beaten.
Since using these soaps, I can't recall a time where I had such an insane need to scratch. I don't get that wild itchiness in my thighs anymore and honestly, I'm stunned (and relieved!).
I live in Long Island and it's been reported that we have very high levels of 1,4 dioxane in our water; apparently feeling very itchy can be a result. I'm not sure what the origin of the itchiness has been in my case (it's probably a combination of things) but this soap helps A LOT.
I will admit that it took a few days to notice a difference, so don't jump to conclusions and assume that it's not helping. Use it until all of the sample soaps are used up. Chances are, you'll find yourself wanting to order more, like I just did! :)
One last thing: When the soap becomes small and more difficult to use, don't throw it away. Get yourself a little soap bag (you can DIY this too) and throw them in there and use that when bathing.
